:blink: OMG, Rah-shyellle! Wow.. . ..good for you getting yourself into the incredible form in which you are now. Would never have guessed -- you look terrific. :)

Thanks :wub:

I think the hardest thing is looking in the mirror and still seeing the fat chick, even though it's been 10 years since I started the journey. I forced myself to wear a pair of leggings and a longer sweater today and I'm making myself 'own it' instead of worrying what my thighs look like :P

*snort*

I weigh 70# less than I did 5 years ago, and someone asked me how I felt about my change. It was a good enough friend that I could say "I still see the same person in the mirror". I'm working very hard at letting go of my perceptions and believing what my friends tell me. This whole 'dating' thing is actually a huge acting production, of me acting like I feel like I'm worth dating. Fortunately I took some time to peruse other people's profiles on that site and decided I'd have to be a whole lot more screwed up than I am in order to think of my self as unworthy. :P

And then, I can always kick their a$$, so I have that going for me. :D:rolleyes:

Heck yeah!! Kick their arses!!!!

My BFF told me I have body dysmorphic disorder. Maybe she's right, I don't know. Unfortunately I think it's easier to believe the negative stuff than the positive. Especially when that's most of what I've been hearing since I was 12 :( I have to force myself to look in the mirror and pick out some of the positives and not dwell on the negative. I'm retraining my brain!

Girlz!!!

You are of course mucho worthy - but old habits die hard I think. I like that Rae-schylle says 're- training your brain'

I think women (in general) get stuck in negative thoughts about their bodies dry.gif

.... on the other side of the coin is Tel (me hubby)

Having been a seriously 'skinny' un dx coeliac most of his life he now has trouble seeing a healthy size bloke in the mirror (with maybe a slight belly wink.gif)

GADS!! - he thinks he still wears 28'' waist trousers rolleyes.gif

NO chance!! laugh.gif

Is MANFLU® SOOTHING HOT OR SHOT DRINK™? safe to consume when pregnant?

No, seek medical advice. Men can’t get pregnant.

Should we email to see if its gluten free?

You guys have to check this out if you have a sec. This is my sister's amazing fiance. He a master puppet creator and this is a clip from one of his shows. He's been all over the world creating wondrous creatures for people like Steve Wynn to the final game/extravaganza for the last game at Yankee stadium to the Pope the last time he visited :mellow: I wish you could all see the other work that he's done, he's AMAZING!!! But this is funny! He's the one in the front in the greyish wig and bigger frog. It's also him singing. He sang the songs in multiple octaves and then remixed them all together!

He contracts out now and works on his own, but here's where he used to work--and alot of the projects you see, Dan worked on

Rah-shyellle, your BIL is quite an artist! What beautiful, imaginative work.. ....never a dull moment, I'm sure . . ...

Russel, the frog puppets are fab. When I was in high school and you were a wee baby or less, I took all the sewing classes available. I wanted to make costumes for Miss Piggy. When that didn't work out, I thought I would make my daughters lots of princess dresses. When that didn't work out, I did make a few Batman and cowboy costumes.

Patti, I made the gluten-free Pantry French bread yesterday. If you like white bread, it's good. I never was a big white bread fan. Cut some up and coated with olive oil and toasted in the oven. Dipped them in cheese fondue. Tasty. Great for day old toast. Made way too much for just me so I'm going to pulverize some for bread crumbs. I make a green bean & Swiss cheese dish that needs bread crumbs on the top.

Ooh--that cheese fondue sounds so good! :rolleyes:

The French bread makes really good croutons and breadcrumbs--and turkey dressing. I like that mix a lot--I started making it 5 years ago because I was also dairy free and it didn't contain any tapioca either which doesn't like me.

I actually liked the taste of the Sandwich Bread when I made it recently--it tasted more like homemade eggbread--denser than the French. It just rose so danged much.....I'll probably go back to the French since I can slice it thinner--I slice and freeze it when cool and then use as I need it from the freezer. Lasts me quite a while unless I make grilled sammies cause Mark eats it that way too.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
